About Us
Committed to closing the gap in basic healthcare essentials, we empower individuals with the resources to thrive.
Our Story
Founded in 1997 by a coalition of ten United Methodist churches in San Antonio, Texas Diaper Bank began as a faith-based initiative to support underserved communities. Over the years, we provided a range of services—after-school programs, food pantries, and utility assistance.
In 2010, we refocused on a critical yet often overlooked need: diapers. Renaming ourselves the Texas Diaper Bank in 2013, we committed to addressing diaper shortages, period poverty, and incontinence care. Today, we partner with local organizations and volunteers to reach families, seniors, and individuals across Texas, ensuring no one is forced to choose between basic necessities.
Our Mission
Texas Diaper Bank provides essential products and support, so individuals and families never go without basic hygiene necessities. We supply diaper, incontinence, and menstrual products that are vital to dignity, health and economic stability.
Our Vision
A future where all Texans have access to the hygiene essentials and support needed to thrive.
Every day, we see firsthand how the lack of essential supplies—like diapers, incontinence products, and menstrual items—affects physical health, mental well-being, and economic stability. Through targeted programs and strong community partnerships, we strive to end these hardships for all Texans.
